In 7.0, we're ready to remove support for Phantom JS to act as the headless browser that captures screenshots for PDF / PNG export of dashboards and visualizations.

For more information about why Phantom is an abandoned project, see ariya/phantomjs#15105

Chromium will be the only browser option for reporting for the foreseeable future. This has a few implications:

  • Kibana's OS support will have an asterisk on availability of Reporting next to any OS that does is not supported by Chromium: CentOS 6, etc.
  • The xpack.reporting.capture.browser.type setting will exist in 7.0-7.x, for backward compatibility. There will be an item in the upgrade guide for 7.0 that this setting needs to be changed to chromium if it isn't already set to that.
